Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# PDF Processing ## Quick start Use pdfplumber to extract text from PDFs: ```python import pdfplumber with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf: text = pdf.pages[0].extract_text() print(text) ``` ## Extracting tables Extract tables from PDFs with automatic detection: ```python import pdfplumber with pdfplumber.open("report.pdf") as pdf: page = pdf.pages[0] tables = page.extract_tables() for table in tables: for row in table: print(row) ``` ## Extracting all pages Process multi-page documents efficiently: ```python import pdfplumber with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf: full_text = "" for page in pdf.pages: full_text += page.extract_text() + "\n\n" print(full_text) ``` ## Form filling For PDF form filling, see [FORMS.md](FORMS.md) for the complete guide including field analysis and validation. ## Merging PDFs Combine multiple PDF files: ```python from pypdf import PdfMerger merger = PdfMerger() for pdf in ["file1.pdf", "file2.pdf", "file3.pdf"]: merger.append(pdf) merger.write("merged.pdf") merger.close() ``` ## Splitting PDFs Extract specific pages or ranges: ```python from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter reader = PdfReader("input.pdf") writer = PdfWriter() # Extract pag

What does the pdf-processing skill do?
Extract text and tables from PDF files, fill forms, merge documents. Use when working with PDF files or when the user mentions PDFs, forms, or document extraction.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill pdf-processing --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills, a repository with 2,909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
